  2. I was born in Wales of English parents, and back then, in the very early 1960s, if you spoke Welsh at school you'd be punished, so I now have no idea if the woman in the video is having us on or not, after all, A.I. overlay animation could be in play, lol.
    A similar cultural language strangulation occurred in New Zealand around the same time, colonial domination flexing it's bullying arms again.
    But both these languages have, and still are, making a comeback, leaving me, a so called 'white' man from Wales, speaking more Maori than I do Welsh.
    No real worries, we're all from the same floating rock really.

    Well, except President Trump, no idea what planet he's from, is there one called Narcissistic ?
